New Dodge Dart Blacktop Debuts at North American International Auto Show

The all-new 2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop will debut at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit this week. While the Blacktop package already exists for the Charger, Challenger, Avenger, Journey, and Grand Caravan, it is a first for the Dart. Unique wheels, select exterior colors, and Gloss Black accents throughout each Blacktop vehicle give them a sinister edge and a custom appearance.

The Dart Blacktop will build upon the Dart SXT, which already features Gloss Black mask and split crosshair grille, dark-tinted projector headlamps, projector fog lamps, integrated dual exhaust, LED racetrack tail lamps, leather-wrapped steering wheel, Bluetooth, and more. As part of the Blacktop package, the Dart will gain sweet 18-inch Gloss Black wheels along with Gloss Black side mirrors, and a sporty interior. The additions will run you just $295 on top of the price of the 2014 Dodge Dart SXT – a total steal as far as we’re concerned.

The 2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop will be available in Redline Red, Header Orange, Blue Streak, Granite Crystal Metallic, Billet Silver, Pitch Black, and Bright White, while inside, Black and Ruby Red premium or Black and Light Tungsten cloth interior is available. The Blacktop can be ordered with the addition of the Sun and Sound Group, including a power express open/close sunroof, nine Alpine speakers, subwoofer, 506-watt amplifier, Uconnect 8.4 CD/MP3 radio with 8.4-inch touchscreen, iPod control, a 12-month subscription to SiriusXM Satellite Radio, ParkView rear backup camera, floating island bezel illuminated instrument panel surround, and Navigation. A Cold Weather Group package is also available for those in cooler climates, featuring heated exterior mirrors, heated front seats, tire-pressure monitoring display, and remote start for those with automatic transmissions.

“The Blacktops have become a signature of sorts for the Dodge Brand,” said Tim Kuniskis, President and CEO of Dodge Brand, Chrysler Group LLC. “With the addition of the Blacktop package for the Dodge Dart, we’re adding to our line-up of vehicles that offer the more aggressive look that has become so popular with our customers.”

The 2014 Dodge Dart SXT and Limited models are powered by a standard 2.4L MultiAir2 Tigershark engine producing 184 horses and 174 lb-ft of torque, while the GT features a unique calibration.

Dealerships will begin offering the 2014 Dodge Dart Blacktop package within the next few months.
